Number 1 Summer Must Have: Bikinis!!!

Category: Fashion, Lush-cious FindsLush Angel @ 11:07 am

Warning, this is a suuuper late post! Duh, isn’t it obvious with my title?! Hehehe! I was cleaning up my files when I saw these photos. Anyway, it is still summer in the other parts of the world so it’s never too late. :-) Plus, it’s surfing season here in the Philippines so I’d be wearing them soon! Who said the rain can stop us from hitting the beach? Hehehe! :-)

In my last trip to Boracay, I brought with me my new sets of bikinis. Yes, these photos were taken last April!!! LOL! Well, it’s never too late. I just wanna share here my great finds. :-) I remember the time I was hooked to buying Billabong and Roxy bikinis. I think I was in first year college then. Comparing to the bikinis we can now buy in bazaars or online shops, they are indeed too pricey. What I love about buying swimwears in bazaars or online is that their pieces are really stylish and of course, cheap! Definitely way cheaper than those famous brands, like Billabong and Roxy. Thanks to the young talented designers these days! :-)

Chanel Paradoxal Nail Polish

Category: Beauty, News TodayLush Angel @ 1:34 pm

Chanel Fall 2010 nail polish is once again a hit, as always! :-)

We all love the legendary taupe nail polish, Particuliere, in Chanel’s Spring 2010 collection. In fact in my recent trip in Bangkok, I was so tempted to get one when I visited Chanel’s boutique in Paragon mall. There was one bottle left, but I thought I’ll buy it if it’s available in the airport. If it’s meant to be, it is meant to be! :-) Apparently, it is not! LOL! Then came Chanel’s turquoise polish, Nouvelle Vague. We saw Hollywood celebrities wear it in the red carpet. And now, it is Chanel Paradoxal’s turn…

Black, White and Gray

Category: Accessories, Chanel, Fashion, Lush-cious OutfitsLush Angel @ 11:36 am

When it comes to clothes, these are the colors you’ll never go wrong- black, white and gray. That’s why we call them the basics, right? :-)

I wore this outfit when I attended a children’s birthday party. Well, being raised in a somewhat Chinese culture, wearing these basic colors in a birthday party is a NO-NO! My mom would give us a long sermon about it. This time though, I decided to wear this since the family of the celebrant isn’t really supersticious. Hehehe! ;-) I really love clothes in basic colors. It’s like an effortless way to look elegant. I don’t stick to the basics all the time though. I love experimenting and it really depends on my mood. :-) On this day, I just thought of going for the basics. Anyway, enough of my blabber. Here it is…

Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Pen

Category: Beauty, Fashion, Lush-cious FindsLush Angel @ 8:50 am

I seldom use eyeliner. I find it so messy. Since I have watery eyes all the time (Drama queen, eh! LOL!), it smudges easily. And when that happens, I find it such a hassle to fix it- foundation, concealer and powder all over again around the eyes! Argh! Oh, and never did I use liquid eyeliner. Why? I can’t seem to control my hands using a tiny brush! Well, all these are facts of my past now. Hahaha! I can’t go out without eyeliner anymore! :-) I just recently discovered that there is now a waterproof liquid eyeliner pen. :-) Ignorant me! Has this been in the market for quite some time now??? Oh well, I just learned about it recently! Anyway, here’s what I bought…

Japonesque Pro Angled Foundation Brush

Category: Beauty, Lush-cious FindsLush Angel @ 11:21 am

Okay, let’s go back to my beauty-related posts. Hey, let me just clarify. I am no expert here. I’m not talking here as if I know everything. I just wanna share what my make-up artist friends have taught me and what make-up products work for me. What sucks about beauty products is that what works for one person doesn’t mean would work for others as well. Results vary as we have different skin types. As a tip, if you have found the beauty products that work best for your skin, stick to them. Trust me, it is so hard to find them unless your skin isn’t too picky. For people like me who have sensitive skin, it’s like a process of trial and error. It is definitely a waste of money whenever I try on something and my skin reacts to it. It can be frustrating! Hehehe!

Anyway, enough of my blabber. I have shared here two of my new found bestfriends, Smashbox Foundation Primer and Make Up For Ever Liquid Foundation. Now, wondering how I apply them on my face? I use this…

Getting Rugged: Part II

Again, as promised, here’s the second part of my rugged look. Sorry, I just have too many photos. Please bear with me. LOL! :-)

For the pictures below, I have exactly the same outfit as Part I, except for my top. I used a studded cropped shirt, which I got from Topshop about two months ago. Yes, it’s only now that I’m wearing it! Why?! When I went to Bangkok, I freaked out when I saw this exact top in one of the stalls! Argh! I swear, it is my cropped shirt- the studs, the cloth, the color, the print, everything! When I asked how much they were selling it, I wanted to faint! I got mine at Topshop for more than PHP 1,000 bucks. The imitation was priced at about PHP 300! Great! :-( Actually, when I saw it in the mannequin, it was the only time I remembered I have that exact top that’s why I had to stop and ask for the price. How I wish I just didn’t ask! LOL! :-)

Anyway, I just wanna forget that! When I saw my pictures wearing my cropped shirt, my PHP 1,000 bucks is worth it. Hahaha! Trying to console myself, eh?! Well, I’d say this outfit looks more rugged than my previous post. Obviously, it is because of the cropped shirt. Check out more pictures below.

Getting Rugged: Part I

As promised in my previous post, I’m breaking-in my new Ed Hardy Sneakers. Hehehe! :-)

My style? Getting rugged! :-) So not me? Well, I’m actually adventurous when it comes to what I wear. I really don’t have one signature style. I love experimenting, as long as it fits me well and I can carry myself. I can probably consider myself unpredictable. Well I guess that best describes me not only with the clothes I wear, but with anything else. LOL! :-)

Anyway, I need to give you guys a warning. This post contains a lot of pictures!!! I can’t decide what to post so I uploaded most of it. LOL! In fact, because I have too much pictures of my rugged look, I will have to cut this post into two parts. I decided to change my top after a number of camera clicks- that I’ll be sharing in Part II. LOL! Oh and guess what?! Not all pictures have the “happy face”! Hahaha!!! :-) So, here you go… You can click on the photos to enlarge. :-)

Ed Hardy Sneakers

Category: Fashion, Lush-cious Finds, Shoes, SandalsLush Angel @ 6:36 am

If you have seen any of my outfit posts, you would notice that I have never really worn sneakers. Ummm… Can you imagine me wearing one? Haha! Well, I do wear sneakers, especially when I travel. When I’m off for long walks and it’s not that cold to wear boots, I’d rather wear sneakers. It’s just unusual for me to wear one here in Manila, BUT with my new cutesy sneakers, now I can’t live without it! LOL! Check it out below. :-)

Can’t Get Enough of Boyfriend Tops

Category: Accessories, Bags, Balenciaga, Fashion, Lush-cious OutfitsLush Angel @ 1:43 am

Let’s take a break first with the make-up stuff I’ve been posting. Let’s go fashion-related since I have a number of outfit posts already that have been sitting on my laptop for quite some time now. And since we will be releasing our next collection soon, I’m quite sure my outfit posts would pile up. Hehe! I’m so excited to wear them and share them here. :-)

Make-Up 101: Make Up For Ever Liquid Foundation

Category: Beauty, Lush-cious FindsLush Angel @ 7:39 am

Never did I like liquid foundations. I tried it once and I hated it. After a few hours, my skin got so oily. I couldn’t last the entire day wearing it. It felt so heavy and sticky. Well, not until I was introduced to the face and body liquid foundation of Make Up For Ever. :-)
